REAL Chapter 24 Discussion

Togawa got invited into Tora's Tattoo Parlor and ended up opening up to him and the ladies about everything in his life thanks to a whole lot of beer. One of the girls pointing out the silver lining of what happened to him being a blessing in disguise was actually pretty reasonable even though I never thought about it that way because if he found out that he can never walk again right after he won and finished his race, everything he will ever try to do would be worthless for him because he'll be stuck with the notion that he had already peaked.



It's great that Togawa had the guts to meet up to show Azumi his real leg and it was even more satisfying to find out that she was concerned enough to do some research on him!



Togawa's training for the national team meanwhile Nomiya's run out of every single yen to his name... I wonder how he'll bounce back from that. I also wonder where Tiger #1 went.

"Wow ... I never really  thought about it that way... " went through my head,

when Tora san explained that it's inevitable for a father to decide about what he wants his son's future to be and also what he feels for him;

so the only thing left to do for the son is to decide whether to trust him or not.



It's probably nothing special and kind of obvious but listening to Tora san saying it out loud so clear and direct,  felt really special to me.



Also my question in the discussion a few chapters earlier was also picked up by the girls (about whehter it would've been for better or worse if Kiyoharu would've won)



And I really liked that line "Being incomplete is what pushes us onward."



I'm still kind of worried about the ex tigers (although the team breakup might've been their ultimate revenge and they might not reappear again; I'm just not sure if the issue is solved yet or not)



And I'm really happy to see Kiyoharu continue his journey. I really want to see him succeed and also meet Tora san again.



Looks like Nomiya has also come to the realization that it's time for him to do something!
